Meet Dr. Elizabeth Ortiz
Dr. Ortiz has a unique talent for making the complex, understandable.
She knows how lonely the modern medical system can leave us and the fear & confusion we feel when faced with important medical decisions.
With over 10 years experience in Rheumatology, she has cared for thousands of patients with conditions ranging from complex cases of lupus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), to more common, but often misunderstood conditions, such as osteoarthritis (OA) and fibromyalgia.
She is especially interested in the power of lifestyle changes and complimentary therapies and how they can supplement state-of-the-art therapy.
What others are saying
Lorena A.
Wendy M.
Office visits were like visiting an old friend. Just seeing her makes you feel better.
Ann D.
She has a great combination of bedside manner, technical skill, and an excellent understanding of rheumatoid diseases.
Gary D.
She helped me and my wife to understand what I’m dealing with and what to expect, and all while being very compassionate. She not only listened to me but then explained everything in terms I can understand.
Laurel B.
Dr Ortiz always has my health as her priority. Even with a difficult to manage disease, she makes reasonable recommendations and makes sure I am comfortable with moving forward on new treatment plans, medications etc.
Christina N.
I noticed that after I went into remission, I was able to maintain it longer than I did in the past due to Dr. Ortiz’s treatment.
Catherine M.
Dr. Ortiz listens to her patients and treats each one as an individual. She helped me manage my medical condition by listening to me, prescribing tests as necessary, and helping me stay on top of my health.
Martha O.
She made sure that I knew which steps we were taking and why we were taking those steps.
Aaron C.
Dr. Ortiz was clear, direct, and compassionate with my case, helping me understand my conditions and plan for my future with a tailored approach.
Jana P.
I was recommended to Dr. Ortiz by my physical therapist and had our first appointment in December 2014. By April 2015, I was on vacation, walking around all day without pain, and feeling the best I had in years. She not only respected the fact that I valued the combination of vitamins, supplements, and diet along with any prescribed medication to treat my arthritis, but she encouraged me to continue.
It is impossible to judge the true cost of our disconnected medical system.
High deductibles & out of pocket costs are already wreaking havoc on our wallets but often without significant health benefits. Co-pays and hidden fees are not getting us what we all want — the expertise, the time and the attention of the doctor.
Connected Rheumatology was built to provide just that. Located in Dallas, Texas and kept intentionally small, Connected Rheumatology makes sure there is value in the money you spend on your healthcare.

When you are hospitalized with an autoimmune condition you feel scared and helpless. Knowing what to expect and how best to take care of yourself during and after your hospital stay BEFORE it ever…
When hands change: Hand Arthritis
“My hands are deforming just like my grandmothers.” We don’t think about how much our hands do for us until they start giving us problems. We assume we will be able grip our steering wheel, type on our keyboards and button our shirts. But for many of us, usually in our 40’s (although it can…
Discoid Lupus Explained
Discoid lupus must be just like “regular” lupus, right? I mean, lupus is lupus, no? You’d think so, but like most things within Rheumatology, it rarely makes that much sense. When one speaks of “lupus” they are usually talking about SLE or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. SLE is a systemic (affects the entire body), autoimmune condition.…
